The global demand for natural, bioactive plant extracts has experienced exponential growth. Modern pharmaceutical, functional food, and advanced animal health industries are shifting away from synthetic additives toward phytogenic compounds. Among these, Pomegranate Extract (Punica granatum) stands out as a highly specialized ingredient rich in powerful polyphenols, specifically Punicalagins and Ellagic Acid.
As a leading custom OEM manufacturer and exporter, we address the critical challenges of global formulation: chemical stability, standardize concentration, and bioavailability. By developing custom-targeted release profiles and water-soluble powders, we empower global brand owners, feed mill integrators, and clinical food formulators to gain a competitive advantage in their respective markets.
We employ advanced extraction architectures to preserve the delicate molecular structures of Punicalagins (Alpha & Beta forms) and Ellagic Acid, providing flexible product configurations to match your exact application specifications.
Specify your exact active ingredient targets: HPLC-grade Ellagic Acid up to 90%, or highly water-soluble Punicalagins from 10% to 40% extracted from the husk, seed, or whole fruit.
To overcome low bioavailability and harsh gastric environments, our spray-dried microencapsulation technology shields the active polyphenols, delivering targeted release in the intestinal tract.
Whether you require maltodextrin, silica, starch carriers, or completely carrier-free pure powders for clean-label compliance, we modify the physical matrix to fit your equipment.

As your trusted partner in animal nutrition, Akston Health will continue to develop innovative solutions that promote animal health, improve farming efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable global agriculture industry.
Integrating Pomegranate Extract into formulations requires practical knowledge of the target system. Here is how our OEM solutions perform across key industries:
Acts as a powerful antioxidant that protects feed lipids from rancidity. In animal gastrointestinal tracts, the active punicalagins selectively suppress pathogenic microflora (e.g., Clostridium perfringens) while fostering beneficial Lactobacillus species.
In intensive aquaculture systems, oxidative stress is a major issue. Adding water-stable, microencapsulated Pomegranate Extract enhances the immune response in fish and shrimp, showing significant protection against Vibrio-related pathogens.
For human health brands, we deliver high-assay Ellagic Acid (up to 90% via extraction). This compound serves as a powerful active ingredient in anti-aging serums due to its tyrosinase-inhibiting and collagen-protecting capabilities.
Navigating global border controls and customs clearance requires complete traceability and adherence to international guidelines. Every shipment of Akston Health's customized Pomegranate Extract is accompanied by a full dossier of documentation, including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) verified by independent laboratories, Non-GMO declarations, and phytosanitary certificates.
We work in accordance with internationally recognized standards, including FAMI-QS, ISO 22000, and GMP+. This ensures that whether you are an agricultural integrator in Europe, a functional beverage developer in North America, or a pet food manufacturer in Asia, our materials flow seamlessly into your production pipelines without regulatory friction.
Our commitment to R&D shapes the future of natural botanical preservation. We continue to invest in extraction processes to maximize the bioactivity of polyphenol structures.
Developing sub-micron liposomal delivery systems designed to significantly increase the bioavailability of ellagitannins in high-performance animal diets.
Combining customized pomegranate extract with secondary metabolites, such as mulberry leaf extracts, to create a broad-spectrum gut barrier protector.
Scaling up carbon dioxide supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) to eliminate chemical solvents, aligned with global sustainability initiatives.
Punicalagins are large, water-soluble ellagitannins found predominantly in the peel of the pomegranate. Once consumed, they hydrolyze into Ellagic Acid, which is further metabolized by intestinal microflora into bioactive urolithins. While Punicalagins are highly water-soluble and act as strong systemic antioxidants, Ellagic Acid is less soluble in water but offers targeted anti-inflammatory and cellular health benefits.
Yes. Raw plant extracts can degrade when exposed to heat and moisture. However, our specialized OEM microencapsulated formulation uses a protective lipid or carbohydrate matrix. This technology ensures the active polyphenols remain stable during conditioning and pelleting processes up to 85°C (185°F), protecting them for downstream delivery in the gut.
We test every raw material batch. Our quality control lab utilizes High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to confirm that the concentrations of Punicalagins and Ellagic Acid match our specification sheets. We also conduct inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to guarantee safety from heavy metals.
Absolutely. We provide complete customization, including carrier-free, 100% pure pomegranate extract options. Alternatively, we can use organic-certified maltodextrin, gum arabic, or silica carriers depending on your processing equipment and regulatory requirements.
